Nice River for Noah

Following a player's all-in shove preflop for 11,400, and Team PokerStars Pro Noah Boeken reraised all in over the top. All folded, and Boeken looked to be in good shape with {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} versus his opponent's {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

Then came the flop -- {4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} -- and Boeken suddenly went from way ahead to way behind. The turn was the {8-Hearts}, closing the door even further. The dealer then burned one and turned over the river card -- the {K-Spades}!

"Must be nice," said Boeken's opponent. Boeken now sits with 38,500.
